MEOKE, AND NATHAN Y. LANDIS, OF SAID MECKE AND LANDIS ASSIGNORSCARD-TABLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 462,933, dated November10, 1891.

Application filed July 6, 1891.

To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that we, JOHN H. SANDERSON, FREDERICK T. Macros, and NATHANY. LAN- DIS, citizens of the United States, all residing in the oity andcounty of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new anduseful Improvement in Tables, which improvement is fully set forth inthe following specification and accompanying drawings.

Our invention consists of a table which is provided with a rim which isclosed on one face and provided with pockets in the other face, the rimbeing adapted to be reversed, so that either face thereof may be placedabove, the rim being also rotative, so as to bring either part of therim to those sitting around the table.

It also consists in adapting the divisional walls of the pockets of therims to form cigarholders.

Figures 1 and 2 represent perspective viewsof a table embodying ourinvention. Figs. 3 and l represent vertical sections of detachedportions thereof.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the severalfigures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates the top of a table, and B thestandard or leg thereof, said top being of circular form.

C designates a hollow rim, which freely encircles the top A and havingone face D forming a continuation of the surface of said top. \Vithinthe rim are radial divisions E, thereby converting the rim into pocketsor receptacles F. In the inner wall G of the rim are circumferentialgrooves ll, one above the other and each continuous around said wall,and on the outer wall J of the top A is a bolt K, which is adapted tofreely enter either of said grooves H, as will be seen in Figs. 3 and 4.

To the upper part of the standard B is secured a horizontally-arrangedcross-head L, which occupies a position below the top A, so as tosupport the rim 0. The bolt K is Serial No. 398,625. (No model.)

provided with a spring and has a beveled nose in order to cause itsautomatic engagement with the wall of the groove H.

It will be seen that the face D or the pool;- ets F of the rim may beplaced above and the rim may be rotated in either direction on thecross-beam L, so as to bring either part thereof to those sitting aroundthe table, the bolt not interfering with said motion. When the rim is tobe reversed, the bolt is drawn back and the rim is removed, overturned,and reapplied, the bolt again entering the respective groove H andretaining the rim in place, while permitting the rotation thereof, ashas been stated.

The outer walls of the divisions E are formed with grooves ordepressions M, which constitute holders for cigars, the same beingserviceable when the pockets .face upwardly. The face D of the rimconstitutes the base of the pockets F, said face resting on thecrosshead L, as will be seen in Fig. 4, while in Fig. 3 the side wallsof the pockets rest on said head.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is.

1. A table having a reversible rim, the same being provided with closedand pocketed faces, either face of which may be placed above,substantially as described.

2. A table-top having a rotatable rim encircling the same and adapted tobe inverted, so that either face thereof may be placed above, said rimbeing provided with a circumferential groove and said top having a beltwhich is adapted freely to enter said groove, substantially asdescribed.

A table-top with a rotatable rim encircling the same and a standardprovided with a cross-head beneath said rim, said rim being reversible,so that either face thereof maybe placed above, said parts beingcombined substantially as described.

l. A table-top having a chambered rim freely encircling the same, saidrim having a grooves, into either of which the bolt freely IO divisionalpiece, the outer face of which is enters, substantially as described.provided with a, depression forming a cigarholder, substantially asdescribed. 5 5. A table-top having a bolt and a rotata- NATHAN Y I ANDISble rim freely encircling the same and adapt- J ed to be reversed, sothat either face thereof Vitnesses:

may be placed above, the said rim being pro- JOHN A. WIEDERsHEIM,
